Ocd causing me problems

[drummingman]

Over the last day ny ocd has been causing me a lot o problems. I get it into my mind that all kinds of things that im doing are wrong or sinful. It can be a whole number of things, like the way i wash my hands or if i do actually commit a sin i get it in to my mind at times that if i dont dwell on the sin or mistake and if i move on and do or think about any number of things that im sinning or messing up when i move on cause im not dwelling on my son or mistake. Its just a BUNCH of things that are messing with me hard.

I cant afford therapy as is and dont see a time that i will be able to afford to see a therapist that can really help me with my ocd besides meds (i will be seeing a doc for that that i can afford). I really need help with not believing the lies from my ocd.

ocd is not sin.

However everybody in the whole world does sin sometimes.
Our righteousness comes from faith in Jesus and being washed in His blood, not from living sinless.

1st John
If we confess our sins Jesus is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Jesus said he that believeth in Me has everlasting life.

Romans chapter 9


30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him (Jesus) shall not be ashamed.


I am sorry you are suffering drummingman,I know how very tormenting ocd can be and how hard it is.I hope you get well soon.I know Jesus will bring you through and keep you safe.I hope this helps you some.
Jesus bless you

i have def been through what your going through, and still going through it a little bit. I used to feel like if i didnt weep over my sin, i wasnt trully repentful, but God showed me that i will never be able to hate my sin like i should, and i just trust in His grace. When things go through your mind and you feel as if its sin, and you know in your mind that it is not, just remind yourself that this is the ocd and not God. It will take some time and a lot of effort but i will pray for you and the Lord will get you throught this. Please keep me updated on how your are doing.
